If you know you know. Pair of grilles of this speaker is exceptionally rare, rarely any were produced to begin with. Badges are included on both grilles. No torns and holes. Only dust on the back. Fits well on the speakers themselves. Speaker not included, last photo is just proof I got it from the AR Classic Model 26 themselves.

The base itself is in excellent condition, all fastenings are intact and the plates are present, the stretched fabric shows signs of wear, holes and scuffs and some dust. Ideally, the fabric needs to be replaced and it is not difficult to hold it on the staples.

A pair of grilles for Acoustic Research AR-3 Speakers. Covered in imported Irish linen with the little slubs (thick threads) running in the cloth. Frames patterned from an original AR-3 grille. Included are a pair of our replica logo plates. These will replace the plastic frames that often broke and also the newer production fiber board. We have been finding AR-3a speakers manufactured using AR-3 cabinets and vise versa. The best way to identify an actual AR-3 cabinet is to check the molding that holds the grille. The AR-3 has slots all the way around and the grille slips into these slots. The AR-3a does not have these slots. Our grille sits just inside the opening without bending to fit it into these slots. Bending the grille often resulted in braking of the grille. This will not fit AR-3a cabinets. Just attach a note that you want the AR-3 Logo Plates not the AR-3a. Logo plates are brass with laser engraved black lettering identical to the original AR. Cloth is a little lighter than what we were providing years ago as it is no longer available. Two logos will be provided for a pair of grilles. Grilles may be glued in place.

Definitely show some wear from being removed. Price is for both. One has a slight crack in the particle board on top right.

Since 1990, I have enjoyed collecting and restoring antique radios and vintage audio…. They are also responsible for determining how they will re-attach these AR-2aX brass logos to the grilles and the grilles to their speaker cabinets. For sale is a pair of original (oem) Grilles & brass Logos, removed from one early and one late version, model AR-2aX loudspeaker. Most dimensions are identical except for the top half/cutout of grilles where openings are slightly different. Even with the variations of top cutouts, I believe either grille should cover the baffle of either speaker, whether an early version 2aX s/n. If any AR speaker guru knows otherwise… PLEASE send me a message so I can update this listing with correct information! The relative position of how their tweeters and mids would fit near the edges of the top cutouts of these grilles. Message if any questions. References to the grilles are as they are shown in pics e. Left side, right side. The grille on right with the lighter shade frame had the repair. Overall grill dimensions: 22.25″H x 11 & 15/16″W. Dimensions of BOTH round lower woofer cutouts: 10. Dimensions of top cutout for darker shaded LEFT grille are 8.75″H x 10 & 3/8″W. Dimensions of top cutout for lighter shaded RIGHT grille are 7 & 15/16″H x 11 & 1/16″W. Dimensions of brass Logos/Badges are 1″H x 2 & 1/16″W (possibly 2 & 1/32). The main repair/restoration was mending the 2 fractured thin/narrow sides for the RIGHT grille’s TOP cut-out. This is a very common problem for these grilles since the left & right sides of the TOP cutout are so thin, and cannot withstand much bending or pressure before they’ll break. In this case the narrow sides only had partial breaks. I was able to mend and reinforce frame edges by applying some wood glue between the 2 breaks, and also gluing a thin wood “splint” to the back side of each break. The former break areas are now more stable, and should hold up just fine… Esp if grille is handled gently. As thin/narrow as the areas are, they are still vulnerable and should not be bent with any pressure. I used Aleene’s Tacky Glue for reattaching the frayed grille fabric back to the frame. It’s very common for AR-2aX logos to have their small, rear screws break free and get lost (like these), so logos must be re-attached to the grilles in a different way… Usually with some type of adhesive. Tip: Logos could be attached to grilles in such a way that where speakers will be positioned vertically, like floor-standing speakers… OR logos could be attached/positioned in such a way that speakers will be positioned horizontally, like bookshelf speakers. The logos can be attached/glued in such a way as to cover over the tiny hole in the front right corner of grille where the old screw was installed.

These were from a pair of old speakers. The badges are mis matched as seen in the photos. There is so light cosmetic wear from age, but they are in good usable condition.
